  • Swipes fourth bag
    Lee went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base Friday against the White Sox.

    Advice: Lee extended his hitting streak to a modest four games, though he now has both a home run and a steal in that span. He's maintained a solid .273 average and .728 OPS across 127 plate appearances for the season. While he continues to split time with Martin Maldonado behind the plate, Lee has notably started the last two games at DH, giving him starts in 10 of the team's last 13 games.

  • Day off Saturday
    Refsnyder will sit Saturday versus the Tigers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Refsnyder will get a breather after going 2-for-8 with a double and an RBI over the first two contests of the series, while he extended his hitting streak to five games in a row Friday. Enmanuel Valdez will replace him at designated hitter and bat fifth against Detroit. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Breather Saturday
    Wong is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Tigers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Wong will take a seat after going 2-for-6 with a double and a run scored over the first two games of the series with Detroit. Reese McGuire will draw the start behind the plate and bat seventh against the Tigers. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Plates pair in Friday's win
    Raleigh went 1-for-3 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a run-scoring single in a win over the Angels on Friday.

    Advice: Raleigh's timely hitting would prove to be essential in a one-run victory, with the backstop bringing home the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly in the opening frame before delivering a fifth-inning knock to plate J.P. Crawford and extend the Mariners' lead to 4-0 at the time. Raleigh had been mired in a 1-for-17 funk over the previous six games, however, and he's recorded just a sole extra-base hit over the 43 plate appearances spanning his last 12 games after lacing 14 over his first 41 contests of the campaign.

  • Two extra-base hits
    DeJong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Friday against the Brewers.

    Advice: DeJong led off the third inning with a solo home run, his eighth long ball of the season and first since May 20. In the 10 games since, he's hit just .182 with a 35.1 percent strikeout rate. Nevertheless, DeJong is locked into a near everyday role at shortstop and has maintained .202 ISO with a 103 wRC+ across 176 plate appearances on the campaign. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Recalled to majors
    The Marlins recalled Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Advice: Pereda has slashed .275/.398/.406 across 83 plate appearances in the minors this season, and he will now come up from Triple-A to give the Marlins another option behind the plate besides Nick Fortes and Christian Bethancourt, who both sport a sub-.500 OPS. Pereda went 0-for-5 in three games during his first stint in the majors during April, and it's unclear how Miami will split the workload between their three backstops.

  • Records first steal Friday
    Andujar went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a loss to Atlanta on Friday.

    Advice: Andujar provided the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Athletics, which were mostly stymied by Reynaldo Lopez and three relievers. Andujar already has a trio of extra-base hits since making his delayed season debut May 24, and he's quickly cobbled together a .375 average and .943 OPS by hitting safely in five of his first six games of the campaign.

  • Three homers in four games
    Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Twins.

    Advice: Bregman accounted for the Astros' only run with his seventh home run of the season. After a slow start to the campaign, he has started to turn things around, going 8-for-24 with three home runs, five RBI and four runs scored across his last six games. Bregman still has just a .652 OPS for the season, though he has managed 26 RBI across 55 games. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Yanquiel Fernandez has four hits Friday at Double-A
    Rockies OF prospect Yanquiel Fernandez went 4-for-4 with a pair of runs scored on Friday for Double-A Hartford.

    Advice: Fernandez racked up a season-high four hits, including a triple, to raise his OPS to .736 on the young season. The 21-year-old outfielder possesses enough over-the-fence pop, as evidenced by a 25-homer campaign last year in the lower minors, to potentially make an impact for fantasy managers down the road. Especially if he winds up getting to play at Coors Field. He’s arguably a top-25 range outfield prospect in dynasty leagues at the moment. Rotoworld Today, 7:54 am
